Male guppies are thinner, have longer and bigger top fins, and are normally prettier. They have a stick-like anal fin called a gonopodium.

Female guppies are fatter in the stomach area, have a fan/triangular shaped anal fin, and they have something called a gravid spot by their anal fin. Those are where her babies are. It will get darker as she grows more pregnant.
